I love digging into my running data and at the end of the
year I spend a lot of time compiling various stats, reflecting on the year and
thinking about what I want to accomplish next year. Here
are some of my 2013 Stats:
Totals
Total Miles – 2,050 which is about 500 short of last year
but on the upside this was the 3rd year in a row over 2k.
Days run – 231, I am kinda disappointed with this one I
should be running more often. Worse is
how many Saturday/Sundays I missed over the year.
Runs beyond 20 miles:
18 the last few years I have been averaging 12 really long runs per
year.

Marathons: 5 marathons are now the most I have completed
in a year. My best was 5 minutes slower than last year. 3 Marathons were Sub 4hrs before this year I only
had 3 sub 4hr marathons.
Ultra Marathon: 52 miles in 10 hrs. Longest run for me, last year my longest race
was 31.5
5k: Slowest 5k in years but it was the weekend after a 7hr
marathon
Current Streaks
(both were in jeopardy this last month)
46 months of 100+ miles
36 months with a long run beyond 15 miles
Overall
It’s been a great year and I have really grown as a runner. I finally feel like a real ultra-marathoner
now, 50k just doesn’t seem harder than a marathon. I surprised myself a few times this year
when I had good performances shortly after long races. I am looking forward to building on this
momentum and doing some amazing things in 2014.
